Case Summary:

“[The client’s] work on electrical vehicles is focused on developing more reliable parts for electric vehicles. Vehicle reliability correlated to consumer confidence, which means that [the client’s] work places him in a key position in an industry of growing importance to U.S. energy security. It is clear to me that [client’s] research is beneficial to the United States and that it would be in the nation’s best interest to have him conducting his research in the United States.”

This is an excerpt of a testimonial issued for our client, a senior electrical engineer from South Korea. As an expert himself, his proposed endeavor is to continue his research on parasitics modeling, electromagnetic compatibility, and signal and power integrity analysis to model the high-frequency parasitics of key parts in electric vehicles, such as rechargeable lithium batteries and electric motors, in order to develop more reliable electromagnetic automotive parts for the U.S. automotive industry. It was thus evident that his work has broad implications for the United States. This is why it was easy for our team of experts to prove that his work was in the national interest, helping him qualify for the NIW (National Interest Waiver) category easily. For this, our team had to use the following information:

His research has been published as 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and 13 peer-reviewed conference papers (5 of them first-authored).
His work has been cited 36 times already.
He has been invited to conduct peer-review for 3 other scientific journals.
He has been funded by the Korean Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning (KETEP) and the Korean Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT).
He has received 4 letters of recommendation from experts in the field.

We are thus delighted to hear of his case approval and we wish him the very best in life.
